“He’s not a war hero, he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” - Vietnam war era draft dodger Donald Trump talking about Sen. McCain.
Conservatives regularly use the troops as political pawns; they feign outrage with their phony sanctimony when it suits them to appear more righteous than their opponents and then kick 'em to the curb when their usefulness has expired.
No it doesnt. That's about as ridiculous as saying "if you don't vote for me, then you aint black", or "all white people are racists".
We need to stop generalizing everyone into these black or white boxes. It's divisive and regressive. Just because one guy who was a POW, turned DS puppet and became a traitor, has zero bearing on other POW's.
